ABSTRACT:
A power transfer device for four-wheel drive includes a center differential of the bevel gear type arranged to split the driving power from a power transmission into two torque delivery paths respectively for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, a front-drive differential of the bevel gear type arranged coaxially with the center differential at one side thereof to transfer the split driving power from a side gear of the center differential to front-wheel axles, and an output gear for rear-wheel drive arranged coaxially with the center differential at the other side thereof to transfer the split driving power from another side gear of the center differential to rear-wheel axles. In the power transfer device, a limited-slip differential in the form of a viscous coupling is assembled within a mounting case for the output gear to effect limited-slip torque proportional to the difference in rotational speed between the side gears.
